Yes, you can buy HelloFresh spices – but not all of them, and not in every country.
Key Takeaways
HelloFresh sells a Seasoning Combo Pack on its US Market site with three blends: Fry Seasoning, Tuscan Heat Spice, and Southwest Spice. That’s it for US direct purchase.
In the UK, you can get a six-blend bundle through Seasoned Pioneers for £19.95, or buy each blend individually. It includes Chermoula, Cajun, Central American, Zanzibar Curry, North Indian Curry, and Ras el Hanout.
For the dozens of exclusive blends HelloFresh doesn’t sell separately (like Fall, Shawarma, and Berbere), the online community has crowdsourced copycat recipes that are easy to make at home.

Can You Buy HelloFresh Spices? The Answer (and What You Get)
Short answer: yes, but the options are limited and split by country.
In the US, HelloFresh offers a Seasoning Combo Pack on their HelloFresh Market store. It comes as a set of three blends: Fry Seasoning, Tuscan Heat Spice, and Southwest Spice. You can’t pick and choose – it’s all three or nothing.
In the UK, the setup is different. HelloFresh partnered with Seasoned Pioneers to sell a bundle of six blends for £19.95. You get Chermoula, Cajun, Central American, Zanzibar Curry, North Indian Curry, and Ras el Hanout. All are gluten-free, vegan/vegetarian, 100% natural, and hand-packed in the UK. You can also buy each blend solo if you only want one or two. This UK bundle is the only official way to get these six blends outside of a meal kit.
Now for the disappointing part: plenty of HelloFresh’s beloved seasoning packets – the Fall Spice Blend, Shawarma Spice, and many others – are still exclusive to the meal kits. They aren’t available for purchase anywhere official. That’s where the DIY crowd comes in, but we’ll get there.
Where to Buy HelloFresh Spices – Two Official Sources
Below are the two official channels to purchase HelloFresh spice blends, depending on your region. The split between US and UK offerings suggests HelloFresh is experimenting with retail partnerships rather than a global rollout.
US customers – HelloFresh Seasoning Combo Pack
The combo pack lives on HelloFresh’s own Market page (the add-on store for subscribers). It’s the only official US source for these three blends. Customer reviews on that page show people love the flavors but wish they could buy them separately or in bigger sizes. One reviewer said, “I use the fry seasoning and Tuscan spices quite a bit to recreate your recipes.
I wish you would sell them separately.” Another: Wish they came in bigger sizes but I love the flavors.
UK customers – Seasoned Pioneers bundle
If you’re in the UK, the official route is the Seasoned Pioneers bundle on their website. For £19.95 you get six jars, or you can buy individual blends for a bit less. The blends are: Chermoula (great with prawns), Cajun (stew), Central American (Mexican feast), Zanzibar Curry, North Indian Curry, and Ras el Hanout (wraps). All carry the dietary labels you’d expect – gluten-free, vegan-friendly, no artificial anything.
Can I buy individual blends?
UK: yes – every blend in the bundle is sold separately on the Seasoned Pioneers site. US: no – the combo pack is sold only as a three-set. If you only want one of the three, you’re out of luck (unless you find a friend to split it with).
How to Use Each Spice Blend (with Nutrition Info)
If you do get the official blends, here’s exactly how HelloFresh says to use them.
Fry Seasoning
- Ratio: 1 tablespoon per 1.5 pounds of vegetables.
- Nutrition per tablespoon: 20 calories, 0g fat, 5g carbs, 1g fiber, 1g protein, 0mg sodium. (Clean stuff.)
- Best on: potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, root vegetables, squash. Basically anything you’d roast.
Tuscan Heat Spice
- Ratio: 1 tablespoon per pound of protein. For ground meat, 1 tablespoon per 8–12 ounces.
- Nutrition per tablespoon: 25 calories, 0.5g fat, 5g carbs, 3g fiber, 1g protein, 0mg sodium. (The fiber is a nice bonus.)
- Best on: chicken, steak, shrimp, salmon, ground beef.
Southwest Spice
- Ratio: Same as Tuscan – 1 tablespoon per pound of protein, 1 per 8–12 oz for ground.
- Nutrition per tablespoon: 25 calories, 1g fat, 5g carbs, 1g fiber, 1g protein, 60mg sodium.
- Best on: chicken, steak, shrimp, tilapia, ground beef.
- Note: The sodium is higher than the other two blends. If you’re watching salt, you might want to use a lighter hand or make your own version with less salt.
What About Blends Not Sold Separately? The DIY Copycat Solution
Here’s the part that probably brought you here. HelloFresh doesn’t sell their exclusive seasoning packets (Fall, Shawarma, Berbere, and a ton more) individually. Customer reviews on the official site show the frustration: one person wrote, that however, their biggest complaint is sometimes they include these delicious seasoning packets that are exclusive to Hello Fresh and they don’t sell the seasonings separately. You’ve been there, and learning how to make your own spice blends can help you recreate those flavors at home.
Reddit, personal blogs, and cooking forums have crowdsourced copycat recipes for over 20 blends. They’re not official HelloFresh recipes – just dedicated fans reverse-engineering the flavors at home. And they work.
Below is the compilation I could find, organized by blend. Most use “parts” so you can scale up or down.

Storage and Shelf Life – Commercial vs. Homemade
If you go the DIY route, you’ll want to store your blends right so they don’t go stale before you finish them.
- Commercial blends (like the Fall Spice Blend from a kit) are shelf-stable up to 1 year in a cool, dry spot. No special treatment needed.
- Homemade blends last 3 to 6 months, depending on the ingredients. The Southwest copycat, for example, can keep up to 6 months in an airtight container.
- Big recommendation: skip plastic jars. They hold moisture and can cause clumping. Use glass mason jars with tight lids instead. Store everything in a cool, dark cupboard away from the stove.
Customer Reviews and Community Insights
On the official HelloFresh Market page for the combo pack, customers aren’t complaining – they’re begging for more. One wrote, that Love these spice packets! Would love if you added even more spice mixes to pick up! Another: “I wish you would sell them separately.”
One admitted she’d only recently tried HelloFresh and saw many HF fans were looking for DIY versions of the seasoning packets. Another reviewer said, that Would be nice to order the roasted garlic herb butter packs too.
Bottom Line: Buy vs. DIY
Buy the official blends if you want convenience and the exact original flavor. The US combo pack ($10-ish on the Market) gets you Fry, Tuscan, and Southwest. The UK bundle (£19.95) covers six global blends, available through Seasoned Pioneers. HelloFresh likely keeps some blends exclusive to drive meal kit subscriptions, making DIY the only path for those flavors. Buying the UK bundle costs ~£3.33 per jar, while DIY can be under £1 per jar with bulk spices.
DIY the rest if you want a specific exclusive blend (like Fall or Shawarma) or if you already have a decent spice collection. The copycat recipes above cover over 20 blends, and they’re simple to mix up – most take five minutes. The cost savings come from buying bulk spices rather than pre-made jars.
One caveat: if you’re watching sodium, homemade is a clear win. You control the salt level. The official Southwest blend has 60mg sodium per tablespoon; you can cut that in half when you mix it yourself.
So no, you can’t buy every HelloFresh spice blend. But you can buy the ones they sell, and for the rest, the internet has your back. Now go make those tacos taste right again.
People Also Ask
Who supplies HelloFresh spices?
HelloFresh sources its spices through different partners depending on the region. In the UK, the official supplier is Seasoned Pioneers, which sells a six-blend bundle and individual jars. In the US, the three-blend combo pack is sold directly through HelloFresh’s own Market store. The exclusive meal-kit blends don’t have a public supplier.
What is a substitute for HelloFresh Southwest Spice Blend?
The easiest substitute is a DIY copycat recipe, which you can make at home with common spices like chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and oregano. The official blend has 60mg of sodium per tablespoon, so making your own lets you control the salt level. Online communities have crowdsourced recipes that closely match the original flavor.
How long do homemade HelloFresh spice blends last?
Homemade blends typically last 3 to 6 months when stored properly in an airtight container. Glass mason jars with tight lids are recommended over plastic, which can trap moisture and cause clumping. Keep them in a cool, dark cupboard away from the stove for maximum shelf life.
